Li Mu went back to his room and changed his clothes. When he came out again, he looked at Liu Hanyan for a while, but he never saw the light again.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.
If he and Liu Hanyan's roles were reversed, and Li Mu saw her naked, he would probably have a momentary impulse, just like when he meets a beautiful girl while walking on the road, he would
I will also instinctively take a few more glances.
This trace of desire was based on instinct, not that Liu Hanyan really had any wrong thoughts about him.
Li Mu felt a little pity. It would be better if she really had any bad thoughts about him. Desire is about the concentration of the last soul. It is better for her to look at him twice than to sell her body.
Liu Hanyan looked at Li Mu with a reddish face, trying to forget the scene just now, but the more she wanted to forget, the clearer the picture became.
She coughed lightly, looked away from Li Mu, and changed the subject: "I'm here to ask you, has the second volume of "Liao Zhai" been written?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Write it down and I'll bring it to you later."
Liu Hanyan said: "There are many people who like Liaozhai. After the second volume, I suggest that you and the bookstore distribute profits according to profit. By then, excluding printing and labor costs, you can get 50% of the total profit. For this, you
Any questions?"
Li Mu knew the market situation, and the profits from books were divided. The average author could only get 30%, while the more famous ones could get 40%. Liu Hanyan gave him 50%, which was already taken care of, so naturally there was no problem.
Liu Hanyan held a copy of Liaozhai and said to Li Mu: "I have a question."
Li Mu raised his eyes and looked at her: "What's the problem?"
Liu Hanyan looked at Li Mu with a strange look and asked: "Why in the book you wrote, the people who fall in love with human men are either beautiful female ghosts or succubi in disguise? Is it..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Mu explained: "Of course, those readers like to read it, and they will buy it if it is written like this. In order to make money, I have no choice. I have no interest in ghosts and succubi at all. I still
I like beautiful women..., I mean, I still like human women."
Liu Hanyan looked at him with strange eyes and said, "I understand, I understand..."
When Liu Hanyan left, the way he looked at Li Mu made him very depressed. He just wanted to make some money by copying books. He was regarded as a pervert who could be lustful at the sight of a female ghost or a fox.
What a deal.
Li Mu sighed, returned to the study, opened the book "Ten Continents Monster Chronicles" and started reading.
Liaozhai is just a fantasy for poor scholars. In reality, of course, there is no story where you save a fox and the other person becomes a human being and agrees to it. In "Ten Continent Monster Chronicles", there is no record of fox repaying kindness, but there are a few details written about it.
The fox's revenge.
Related to this, a recent case occurred thirty years ago. A county magistrate in a certain county killed a litter of foxes for no reason, skinned them and made them into fox fur cloaks. But he didn't know.
What is surprising is that one fox actually escaped from the nest. Twenty years later, the fox became successful in cultivation and slaughtered the county magistrate's entire family, skinned and cramped, and his body was hung at the gate of the county government office...
Although the fox was finally killed by the court, it also gave people a profound understanding of the fox clan's revenge.
After seeing something about foxes and not knowing what happened to the little fox he saved last time, so as not to fall into the hunter's trap again, Li Mu was distracted for a while and continued to turn the pages of the book in his hand.
Outside Yangqiu County, there is a mountain valley with rare human traces.
Several foxes were jumping and playing in the mountains. When an old woman walked into the valley, the foxes immediately rushed over.
"Grandma, grandma, you are back!"
"What good things did grandma bring us this time?"
"It's roast chicken. I smell the smell of roast chicken. Grandma, I want to eat roast chicken..."
…
Foxes that spoke human words surrounded the old woman and jumped around. The old woman put down a basket she was carrying on her waist, took out a few roast chickens and distributed them to them. The foxes ran away quickly with the roast chickens in their mouths.
Already.
Only one white fox remained in the same place, looking at her eagerly and whispering: "Grandma..."
"Grandma has not forgotten you..." The old woman smiled, took out a thin book from her arms, and said: "This book is the best sold in the city. Tell me, you don't like roast chicken."
, why do you like these things written by humans? If I had known, I wouldn’t have taught you to read in the first place..."
Amid the old woman's babble, the little fox held the book in his mouth, ran to the foot of the tree, placed the book called "Liao Zhai" on the ground, opened the pages with his little paws, and read attentively.
This story called "Xiao Qian" made her burst into tears. At the end, when Xiao Qian and Ning Caichen lived happily together, her tears turned into laughter.
In the story "Lian Xiang", how come vixens and female ghosts are together with humans? Can fairies and female ghosts also fall in love with humans?
I also saw "Fox Couplet", which tells the story of two beautiful fox girls who broke into a scholar's garden. The scholar told them to leave very seriously. The fox girl laughed at the scholar and made him respond by making a couplet. The couplet was "
"We are of the same body as the 1898 Movement, but we only owe a little in our belly." The scholar couldn't answer it. After the fox girl laughed sarcastically, she answered the second line by herself and walked away.
"We are of the same body in the 1990s, but we only have one thing left in our belly." What the fox girl was right was, "I have already been traced, so why not pick up both sides?" The little fox rolled his eyes several times, but did not understand what the second line meant. He couldn't help but wonder about the book.
I admired the literary talent of the fox girl in the novel. She is also a fox, and others can read couplets, but she can't even recognize the characters...
Holding the book in her mouth, she trotted up to the old woman and asked curiously: "Grandma, grandma, what does double challenge mean?"
The old woman looked at the "Fox Couplet", spat, and said: "Don't look at these messy things, go and practice..."
Grandma didn't tell her, so the little fox could only walk back with the book in his mouth, muttering in a low voice, "Read another article, read another article and then go practice..."
She opened the book again and murmured: ""Xiao Cui" tells the story of a fox repaying a favor. How does a fox repay a favor..."
…
Yunyan Pavilion, teahouse.
Noon is the fixed time for the young storyteller to tell stories. Every day at noon, the teahouse is bound to be full. Many guests come here half an hour in advance to get a seat. Those who arrive late and don’t get a seat order a pot of tea.
, standing in the corner drinking.
For them, drinking tea is not important, but listening to stories is important.
God knows there are so many strange and weird stories from that young man. Sometimes they are gripping, sometimes thought-provoking, and sometimes hilarious. They are always irresistible. What he tells today is the story of a fox repaying a favor.
"In Yuntai County, a hunter caught a fox when he went hunting in the mountains one day. Seeing that it was pitiful, he couldn't bear to kill it, so he let it go. But what the hunter didn't expect was that since he let it go,
After that fox, strange things happened..."
"The hunter came back from hunting every day with a bowl of steaming white porridge in the pot. After drinking the white porridge, the hunter went to the mountains to hunt. Until half a year later, a Taoist priest told the hunter that he had a strong evil spirit. The hunter thought about the white porridge and served it
The hunter came to show the porridge to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest told the hunter that the porridge was inedible and that it was made by vixens. The next day, the hunter pretended to hunt and hid in the firewood pile outside the door. When he heard strange noises coming from inside the house, he suddenly pushed away.
When I entered the door, I was shocked to find..."
"If you want to know about the funeral, see you at the same time tomorrow..."
"Thief, you come again!"
"Please, do something humane!"
…
Amidst the shouts and curses of the crowd, Li Mu jumped off the stage, slipped out of the back door, walked to the front door, followed the guests in the teahouse and cursed a few words of "broken dog", and after channeling enough anger, he went to the county government office.
.
After a while, Zhang Shan walked into the check-in room from outside and asked curiously: "Li Mu, have you heard the story about the hunter and the fox? What did you say the hunter saw when he opened the door?"
Li Mu said: "Of course it's the fox cooking the porridge."
Zhang Shan was stunned for a moment: "That's it?"
Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, instead of cooking porridge, could it be that the fox is committing suicide in the pot?"
Zhang Shan stood there thinking, and Li Mu saw a familiar figure flashing outside the door. He immediately walked out of the check-in room, walked to Li Qing, and said: "Boss, I have accumulated enough anger, I think I can
